Quick Facts South Africa at the 2022 Commonwealth Games, CGF code ...

Para-swimmer Christian Sadie and netballer Bongiwe Msomi were the country's flagbearers during the opening ceremony.^[2]

Durban initially secured the hosting rights after Edmonton withdrew from the bidding contest, which would have led to the Games being hosted on African soil for the first time.^[3]^[4] However, the South African government subsequently claimed it would not be possible to host the Games because of financial constraints;^[5] as a result, the CGF stripped Durban of their hosting rights in March 2017.^[6]
